things i learned from draft day

  • Sonny Barrios is like that school principal you never listen to. Seriously, insomniacs could get cured by his talking.
  • Mark Andaya, in formal garb, still looks like...well, Mark Andaya.
  • You can't judge health conditions by one's biceps. Anyway, it was nice to see Kelly Williams back. Hope he completely gets past his blood disorder soon.
  • Edwin Asoro is officially 6'1?!? This guy played the 4-spot for NU (even guarding centers from time-to-time) and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought he was at least 2 inches taller.
  • Jong Uichico has a fetish for pointguards. As if Jayjay Helterbrand, Paul Artadi, Chico Lanete, Macky Escalona, and Chris Pacana aren't enough, they drafted another pure PG in Chris Timberlake in the first round, making him the team's 764th ballhandler.
  • You can say "First of all..." to begin all your sentences and get away with it. I know these guys are nervous but you have to hear Rico Maierhofer's interview after being selected second overall (technically third since the 2nd pick was forfeited).
  • Subsequently, it seems like the longer the interviewer's question is, the shorter is the interviewee's response. Patricia Bermudez-Hizon asked an equally shaky Japeth Aguilar a three-page question and the top draft pick responded with a Twitter-esque answer.
